I think if you look at all of recent moves by Google, it shows it wants to be Yahoo (except in the slow-lumbering ways Yahoo works). It wants to sell banner ads, it wants to build your home pageâ€¦ on and on. They may not be the #1 brand on the planet, but then there are people outside of the Silicon Valley-Wall Street hothouse, who love their products. For instance our moms and sisters.
